Definitions
- the present invention relates generally to backhoe mounting mechanisms.
- the present invention is a locking mechanism for a sideshift backhoe.
- Sideshift mounted backhoes are commonly used for excavation. These implements are typically mounted to a rear portion of a loader or other vehicle by means of a sideshift mount. The backhoe can then be shifted or moved in a transverse direction to any desired position between the opposite sides of the loader. When shifted to the outer ends of the mount adjacent the sides of the loader, the backhoe can be effectively used for excavation immediately adjacent an above-the-ground or subsurface structure. In one known design, the operator will actuate the backhoe against the ground and force it to slide to the desired position about the rear portion of the loader. The backhoe is generally shifted to the left or right side of the sideshift mount, retracted, and turned in a transverse direction, when the loader is traveling.
- Vehicles to which backhoes are mounted typically include stabilizers on their rear outboard sides.
- the stabilizers are individually driven by hydraulic cylinders in response to operator actuation of control valves. When lowered or extended during excavation, the stabilizers more securely position or stabilize the vehicle.
- Hydraulic locks are often used in the stabilizer's hydraulic drive circuit to prevent fluid from leaking from the hydraulic cylinders after the stabilizers have been positioned. The stablizers can then be securely locked in their retracted position when the vehicle is traveling, and in their extended position during excavation.
- GB-A-1 067 614 discloses a backhoe with a sideshift frame that can be slid transversely across the rear of a tractor and which is capable of being locked into a desired position along mounting rails and further a stabilizing frame having at each side extensible leg members.
- FR-A-2 453 948 discloses a hydraulic circuit which is capable of automatically reducing the pressure of a pressurized end of a fluid ram as the stabilizer arm moves across the pivot axis on the fluid ram frame.
- the present invention is a loader having a locking sideshift backhoe.
- the backhoe is movably mounted to a rear portion of the loader by sideshift mounting means which permits transverse movement of the backhoe between the loader's left and right sides.
- a pair of stabilizers are mounted to the rear portion of the loader adjacent opposite sides of the sideshift mounting means, and are movable between extended and retracted positions.
- Stabilizer drive means drive and position the stabilizers between their retracted and extended positions.
- Locking means on at least one of the stabilizers engage the sideshift mounting means and prevent movement of the backhoe when the stabilizer is driven to its retracted position.
- the sideshift mounting means includes a main frame and a slide frame.
- the main frame is fixedly mounted to the rear portion of the loader, while the slide frame is mounted to the main frame for transverse movement.
- the backhoe is mounted to the slide frame.
- the slide frame includes a lower portion having downwardly opening locking apertures.
- the locking means includes upwardly extending locking pins on the stabilizers. The locking pin on one of the stabilizers will engage one of the locking apertures when the slide frame is positioned adjacent a side of the loader and the stabilizers are driven to their retracted positions.
- the stabilizer drive means includes hydraulic cylinders for driving the stabilizers.
- Valves couple the hydraulic cylinders to a tank in a hydraulic circuit.
- Hydraulic locks couple the valves to the hydraulic cylinders and help ensure continued engagement of the locking pin and aperture when the stabilizers are retracted.

Description
- The present invention relates generally to backhoe mounting mechanisms. In particular, the present invention is a locking mechanism for a sideshift backhoe.
- Sideshift mounted backhoes are commonly used for excavation. These implements are typically mounted to a rear portion of a loader or other vehicle by means of a sideshift mount. The backhoe can then be shifted or moved in a transverse direction to any desired position between the opposite sides of the loader. When shifted to the outer ends of the mount adjacent the sides of the loader, the backhoe can be effectively used for excavation immediately adjacent an above-the-ground or subsurface structure. In one known design, the operator will actuate the backhoe against the ground and force it to slide to the desired position about the rear portion of the loader. The backhoe is generally shifted to the left or right side of the sideshift mount, retracted, and turned in a transverse direction, when the loader is traveling.
- Vehicles to which backhoes are mounted typically include stabilizers on their rear outboard sides. The stabilizers are individually driven by hydraulic cylinders in response to operator actuation of control valves. When lowered or extended during excavation, the stabilizers more securely position or stabilize the vehicle. Hydraulic locks are often used in the stabilizer's hydraulic drive circuit to prevent fluid from leaking from the hydraulic cylinders after the stabilizers have been positioned. The stablizers can then be securely locked in their retracted position when the vehicle is traveling, and in their extended position during excavation.
- GB-A-1 067 614 discloses a backhoe with a sideshift frame that can be slid transversely across the rear of a tractor and which is capable of being locked into a desired position along mounting rails and further a stabilizing frame having at each side extensible leg members.
- FR-A-2 453 948 discloses a hydraulic circuit which is capable of automatically reducing the pressure of a pressurized end of a fluid ram as the stabilizer arm moves across the pivot axis on the fluid ram frame.
- It is the object of the present invention to provide a loader with an improved sideshift backhoe mounting mechanism and a locking mechanism for positively securing the backhoe on the sideshift mount during vehicle travel wherein the locking mechanism must be efficient and reliable.
- This object is achieved by a loader according to the claims.
- The present invention is a loader having a locking sideshift backhoe. The backhoe is movably mounted to a rear portion of the loader by sideshift mounting means which permits transverse movement of the backhoe between the loader's left and right sides. A pair of stabilizers are mounted to the rear portion of the loader adjacent opposite sides of the sideshift mounting means, and are movable between extended and retracted positions. Stabilizer drive means drive and position the stabilizers between their retracted and extended positions. Locking means on at least one of the stabilizers engage the sideshift mounting means and prevent movement of the backhoe when the stabilizer is driven to its retracted position.
- In one embodiment the sideshift mounting means includes a main frame and a slide frame. The main frame is fixedly mounted to the rear portion of the loader, while the slide frame is mounted to the main frame for transverse movement. The backhoe is mounted to the slide frame. The slide frame includes a lower portion having downwardly opening locking apertures. The locking means includes upwardly extending locking pins on the stabilizers. The locking pin on one of the stabilizers will engage one of the locking apertures when the slide frame is positioned adjacent a side of the loader and the stabilizers are driven to their retracted positions.
- In still other embodiments the stabilizer drive means includes hydraulic cylinders for driving the stabilizers. Valves couple the hydraulic cylinders to a tank in a hydraulic circuit. Hydraulic locks couple the valves to the hydraulic cylinders and help ensure continued engagement of the locking pin and aperture when the stabilizers are retracted.
- The invention is described in detail in connection with the drawings in which:
- Figure 1 is a perspective view of a rear portion of a loader which includes a locking sideshift mount and backhoe in accordance with the present invention.
- Figure 2 is a detailed sectional view of the sideshift mount, taken along lines 2-2 in Figure 1.
